When to use this

You got a bill that looks like it was written in code. Maybe it's a medical bill with procedure codes, an insurance Explanation of Benefits, or a bank statement with mysterious fees. You want to understand it before you pay.

Why this works

AI is great at translating jargon into plain language. It can spot items that don't add up and help you know which charges are normal and which ones are worth questioning. Think of it as a second pair of eyes before you write the check.
